Mahinahina Residence

We designed this 2,000-square-foot home on an upland site in West Maui, Hawaii for a young family with a limited budget. The compact floor plan includes three bedrooms and a loft that can serve as guest quarters, office, or play space. The design features natural ventilation from the trade winds, and expresses an island design influence. To save money the materials were assembled on the mainland and shipped in containers to Maui for the local contractor.
